Can Getting HCG Shot Once A Year Be Possibly The Reason For Sickle Cell Anemia?
My 19 year old very healthy lacrosse star daughter has been diagnosed with sickle cell anemia recently. She was a very healthy figure skating star and is now a lacrosse a very successful lacrosse player. She has always been very healthy and this disease does not run in our family. She is s white 5 10 and great physical condition. I was wondering if the HCG shot could have been a factor in this recent diagnose as she has been doing the shots about once a year. Thanks so much for your time .

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
Sickle cell anemia did not have any thing with the HCG, It is a genetic disorder, may be the far relatives may have it.
She should have treatment with a hematologist for confirmation and treatment.
Ask to take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts,and
protein rich foods to have a good maintenance.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
